arm/mm: support __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE

Browse source 
Let's support __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE by stealing one bit from the
offset.  This reduces the maximum swap space per file to 64 GiB (was 128
GiB).

While at it drop the PTE_TYPE_FAULT from __swp_entry_to_pte() which is
defined to be 0 and is rather confusing because we should be dealing with
"Linux PTEs" not "hardware PTEs".  Also, properly mask the type in
__swp_entry().
